Sade 'hang on to your love' a fine track. i have the diamond life album, time to dig it out again me thinks.

The 'false' white centre are Demo's. there are also Demo's with a promotional sleeve and nothing on the record. bit mish-mash, but thats how they operated

why do promoters advertise "Soul and Motown" nights? are'nt they one and the same? . Would a Soul and Okeh night, or a Soul and Ric Tic night be advertised? After all, Motown is a label , same as the rest hmmmmm

Satisfying our Souls ! The Kent compilation of WEA material absolutely first class. had it donkey's years and never tire of it Joannie Sommers The Apollas Barbara Lewis Three Degrees Sister Sledge Mike Post Bobby Wilson Leslie Uggams Linda Jones Soul Bros Six The Coasters Ben Aiken Esther Phillips Linda Lyndell The Marketts Dave & Rubin

I like the Grapevine label, some are getting quite desirable. Still looking for Dena Barnes, Edward Hamilton, Morris Chestnut

I recenty bought a BELL issue for £12, so 30 for the Eric seems a steal

another i just thought of -- Joey Heatherton . Dean Martins side kick and a huge TV celeb

or even this guy ? .......

I was gonna say John E Paul..... so what about Charlie Gracie instead.

Saw him in '84 during 'The Poet' tour, lots of folk type stuff mixed in wth his 60's solo stuff and lots of his Poet album (which i personally love & still have). hopefully as Kev says, if he hits the audience with HIWTHI etc etc, then a good night will be on the cards .

Alfa, you mean Frank Popp ? I hear ya

Paul Donnelly was selling one a while back. give him a shout, he might still have it

Debbie will be along soon, ref the 'Scenesville' era at the notre dame. i've just spotted this and let her know

fascinating stuff regarding Bob Seger & band. i just read Segers' history/discography, a fine career indeed

Hillman Imp, nicked by the legend that is Eric Hall for a niter in Peterborough, 1981. next morning, text book 'overheating' on the northbound A1, push it to the next lay-by, low and behold, the bill pull up and give us all the once over. Eric stayed cool as a cucumber, said he'd take his documents into Caythorpe (village) station. what he didnt tell the cop was that his uncle was the desk sergeant there another time was when i thumbed it to St Ives around 79, got a lift to Huntingdon station in an HGV, when i was pondering what to do next, a group of lads asked me if i wanted a lift to the Ivo. a quick call from the phonebox to the recreation centre, (we heard the shout go over the pa by a DJ for his mate to come to the phone), ten minutes later a nicked motor turns up and in we all jump!! strange thing is, i got a lift back to Grantham with a lad who i actually work with now, a MK2 1600E

i seem to recall a seller at Brid last year seing nice cases, but i cant remember who they were! so if anyone has a decent and reliable case for sale, please let me know. (if this is wrong section, apologies)

good to see Chippy on there givin it some

I remember getting there about 11am , because the only bus to leicester was about 10 on a sunday . Soul sam, Bub, JM and an oldies room which was no bigger than a cloak room !! My fave all dayers without a doubt - Nottm Palais, simply because it was my first one (Feb 78) and i never missed one for the next 3 years... that was a close contest with the wonderful St Ives . what a place. hitch hike, bus, train, stolen car .... we had to get there one way or another.

sensible prices only please. payment of your choice

jesus christ ! how much ??
